Revati Nakshatra · Lord Mercury · Pisces · Astrovene
Revati is the last of the twenty-seven, holding the closing stretch of Pisces from three hundred and forty-six degrees forty minutes to three hundred and sixty. Mercury lords it and Pushan, who guides travellers and herds along the roads, presides. Its symbol is a fish.
Pushan is the deity of safe conduct, the one who brings something to where it was going. Mercury is the graha of routes and of carrying a thing from one hand to another. Together they make Revati a nakshatra of completion rather than of beginning: not starting a journey, but seeing one finished properly.
A fish finds its way through water where no path has been marked, and that is the whole reading of the symbol, direction in a medium with no signposts. Some traditions add a timekeeping drum. Journeys that end well, and care taken of others in transit, are the associations.
All four padas fall in Pisces, and the navamsa moves through Sagittarius, Capricorn, Aquarius and Pisces. The fourth pada is Pisces in both rasi and navamsa, so it is vargottama, and it is also the final navamsa of the circle. The last quarter of the last nakshatra closing on its own sign is the tidiest structural fact in the sequence.
In the Vimshottari cycle Mercury carries seventeen of the hundred and twenty years. A Revati birth begins inside a Mercury mahadasha, the same opening as a Jyeshtha birth, because the nine-lord order repeats three times across the twenty-seven nakshatras. That is how the cycle is built, not a claim about anyone.
Revati belongs to the deva gana, and it closes the circle that Ashwini opens, the minute Pisces runs out, Aries and Ashwini begin again. Lord, deity and gana are agreed everywhere; the elephant yoni, the associated bird and the associated tree vary between schools and are given as attributions rather than as fact.
